It was actually an hour wait in total for the doctor. Luckily I had brought my iPod and could listen to a podcast of Quirks and Quarks.
The doctor doesn’t think I need a bone scan, which is good. Apparently they take over two hours to perform. Since it has been getting better in the past two weeks (and doesn’t hurt all the time), he thinks I might just have a bone bruise. He’s prescribed an x-ray so we can determine if it is. I hope! It would mean I wouldn’t be off my feet for so long. He was concerned that I should keep exercising, otherwise all the leg muscles will deteriorate. And I worked hard for those muscles.
I can run, but only if I feel it is okay; If the level of pain isn’t too bad. I might have to find alternate exercise. I really don’t like swimming for exercise. I’d be tempted to go bicycling, except I don’t have one. Rollerblading isn’t that recommended.
Apparently I’m really cheap when it comes to exercise. I’m only willing to fork out for a pair of running shoes.
I would have gone to the x-ray tonight, but there doesn’t seem to be a huge rush. And I have stuff to do to prepare for an eye doctor appointment tomorrow. I’ll try going Friday, or Saturday.
I guess this is medical week for me.
